A newly constructed Spanish-inspired residence by Smart Builders, thoughtfully designed to capture the timeless elegance of Santa Barbara architecture while offering the comfort and functionality of modern living. Nestled in the heart of Mar Vista, this exceptional home showcases warm natural materials, sophisticated craftsmanship, and an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A striking arched entry sets the tone for the home's refined design. Upon arrival, an inviting library or study framed by elegant archways creates a distinguished space for work or relaxation. A generously sized main-level guest suite with its own private bath offers exceptional flexibility for visitors, extended family, or multigenerational living. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living, the formal dining room is a true showpiece, highlighted by dramatic double-height ceilings, an oversized arched window, and elegant French doors that open to the side yard, flooding the space with natural light. Adjacent to the dining room, a custom wine bar with integrated beverage refrigeration creates a sophisticated transition into the home's central living spaces. At the heart of the residence, the gourmet kitchen showcases custom rift white oak cabinetry, stunning Breccia Capraia marble countertops, a premium Thermador appliance package, and a walk-in pantry. An expansive center island serves as the focal point for gathering and entertaining, while the kitchen flows effortlessly into the spacious family room, anchored by a fireplace and framed by Fleetwood sliding glass doors that create a seamless connection to the outdoor living areas. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering exceptional privacy, a spacious private balcony, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities and designer finishes. Two additional en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while a conveniently located second-floor laundry room adds practicality to everyday living. Throughout the home, engineered hardwood flooring complements a warm, organic design palette, while carefully selected finishes and custom millwork create a cohesive sense of understated luxury. The outdoor spaces have been equally considered, featuring elegant marble hardscaping throughout the front entry, side yard, backyard entertaining areas, and exterior fireplace accent wall. A built-in barbecue, manicured lawn, and private outdoor gathering spaces provide the ideal setting for year-round Southern California entertaining. Rarely available in Mar Vista, this newly built residence offers a refreshing alternative to the area's more contemporary inventory. With its timeless Spanish and Santa Barbara-inspired architecture, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail, this exceptional home delivers a level of warmth, character, and sophistication that is increasingly difficult to find.
